It takes a village

Campaign Details

Help Build the Next Chapter

For years, every piece leaving my studio has been designed, fabricated, and finished by my own hands.

That commitment to craftsmanship remains unchanged. Since the beginning of 2026, I have been refining every aspect of this transition.

The vision is clear.  The designs are ready.

The next step is building the infrastructure required to bring them to life at the highest possible level.

I hope you will join me.  Become part of the story from the beginning.


What is changing is the scale.

After extensive research, international study, and time spent working alongside manufacturers and designers in Milan, Italy, I have reached an important conclusion: the future of this work requires a new model.

A business built entirely around one person can only grow so far. To create the level of design, quality, and reach I envision, I will need to evolve from a studio practice into a true luxury design house.

That transition requires investment.

Today, I am inviting a limited group of supporters to become members of the Founder's Circle and help establish the foundation for this next chapter.

 

Your support will fund:

• Product development and prototyping
• Factory partnerships and sourcing
• Trade shows and showroom visits
• Research and travel
• Branding and identity development
• Strategic business planning and market positioning

 

In appreciation for your support, Founder's Circle members receive deep discounts, priority access, exclusive updates, invitations to private events, and recognition as early supporters of the brand.

FAQ's

How long does the Campaign last?

The campaign will run through to the end of August. All purchase must be made by midnite August 31, 2026 to enjoy the discounts.

When will I receive my bag if I choose the Future Production option?

This option is at a deeper discount for the very reason of the waiting time.  These bags cannot have a time guarantee, but will be expected by to be delivered sometime in 2028. I will visit additional factories this September 2026 and hope that I can identify good and stable partnerships swiftly.

How do I choose my bags for Future Production?

Design options are not finalized yet for Future Production. This purchase will require a leap of faith based on my Archive of Designs and that the quality will be as good, but likely better, than what I can create alone. If you would like to reach out directly about this, you may.

When will I receive my bag if I choose the Current Production option?

That depends on your selection and the quantity purchased.  All bags will be deliverable by January 2027.  As these bags are still being made by me alone, I am unable to give a guaranteed time frame.  The earlier you place your order, the sooner it will be available.

How will I order my Current Production bag?

You can find more info here about available styles.

Why are there no less expensive options?

It is not easy.  I know many people want to support but are unable to feasibly participate.  Because everything is made by hand, and time is the most valuable resource, it's counter intuitive to offer a lower price point in this context. 

In my effort to scale, I am adding even more work to an already labor intensive endeavor.  This will pay off once I am able to work with others to help produce the bags.  However, the in between will be time short and labor intensive.

If you really want to support please pass it along to someone else that may enjoy the opportunity to support a small female founder. Or you may share with someone as a wish list for yourself...and it is discounted!!!!!

What if I just want to support without purchasing a product?

I have had many questions about how to simply support without a transaction. I have made a specific pay what you want option called, Make It Happen. Here you can toss in any amount that feels good at whatever quantity. No one should feel obligated to give anything. You can always pass it along, instead. xo
